Heyo, just wanted to give an update. I didn't go through with building a PC for awhile cause I was moving around a lot (5 diff places in the past year). Finally got settled into a new home with the wife though and my Macbook kicked the bucket after 7 years.
So I used fp4's build that he linked me with a few changes ( different case, graphics card, and power supply). Working great and really happy I went through with it. So thanks to all who posted helping me out. Moving forward with the thread, is there any adivce anyone has on using Windows (I have only ever used Apple products).
